Archipelago Hotels and Resorts Launch Datai Hotels & Resorts

The luxury brand's flagship, the award-winning The Datai Langkawai, sits on the tropical island of Langkawi, Malaysia and incorporates Asian-inspired design.

Frank Zeller, managing director of Archipelago Hotels And Resourts announced The Datai Desaru will open in September 2014, and that a number of other Datai Hotels & Resorts projects are in the works.

"I am also delighted that Khazanah Nasional, the investment holding arm of the Government of Malaysia has invested in Archipelago Hotels and Resorts via their subsidiary Destination Resorts and Hotels, which will further assist with the growth and development of the company," added Zeller.
